I am clearly a girly-girl of the highest order.

To all of you who can sleep anywhere, anytime: "You are unmitigated b'stards."

Presently in a house of 6 people I am SUCH an old maid of a girly girl I cannot sleep until the last person goes to bed (ie stops making teeny little drawer opening noises audible through several walls, usually around 1 am) and wake with the first person to rise, no matter where they are in the house.

Presuming my b'stard body clock hasn't got me up by 7.

I cannot sleep on planes at all.

Unless I score 2.5 - 3 empty seats and a LOT of prescription drugs.

Oh yeah, I get crotchety on less than 8 hours perfectly uninterrupted sleep a night.

Can you tell?

*ahem*

(Insert genteel apology to the sleep-talented.)

i have been told by my male friends that in a little institution called the singapore armed forces officer cadet school, you learn the art of sleeping whilst standing. at attention. holding a rifle.

I believe that this subtext is entirely in your own mind, D, and advise you to seek help accordingly.

More kinky subtext as spotted by deb... what are you thinking Mark?

'tie a little bell to one of their toes ... should you need to find them urgently'

I am curious as to what precedes an urgent toe-finding mission. Or perhaps, proceeds.

But first, a nap ...

I can sleep absolutely anywhere and anytime. Except on plane journeys. Except for when I was landing in Cairo after a forty minute flight, someone said "Ooh, look, pyramids," I said ,"Uh, what pyramids?" and fell asleep...!

I like to think I keep myself trim and in shape for when sleeping becomes an officially recognised sport. But you can never practice enough.
